At that time 1Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
1 Mark 6:14, Luke 9:7

2

And said unto his servants, This is 1John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
1 Matt 16:14, Mark 8:28, Luke 9:7, Luke 9:19

3

For 1Herod had laid hold on 2John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
1 Luke 3:19,20
2 Matt 11:2 Mark 6:17 Luke 7:18-19

4

For John said unto him, It is not 1lawful for thee to have her.
1 Lev 18:16, Lev 20:21

5

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a 1prophet.
1 Matt 21:26, Luke 20:6

6

But when Herod's 1birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
1 Gen 40:20

7

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

8

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

9

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the 1oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
1 Eccles 5:2, Zech 8:17

10

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

11

And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

12

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

13

When Jesus heard of it, he 1departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
1 Matt 10:23, Matt 12:15, Mark 3:7, Mark 6:32, Luke 9:10, John 6:1

14

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with 1compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
1 Psa 86:15, Psa 111:4, Psa 145:8, Matt 9:36, Mark 1:41, Heb 2:17, Heb 4:15, Heb 5:2

15

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves avictuals.

16

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; 1give ye them to eat.
1 2nd Kings 4:42,43

17

And they say unto him, We have here but 1five loaves, and two fishes.
1 Matt 16:9, John 6:9

18

He said, Bring them hither to me.

19

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he 1blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
1 Deut 8:10, 1st Samuel 9:13, Matt 15:36, Luke 22:19

20

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

21

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

22

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he 1went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
1 Mark 6:46, John 6:15

24

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

25

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

26

And when the disciples saw him 1walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
1 Job 9:8, Isa 43:16

27

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, 1O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou 2doubt?
1 Matt 6:30, Matt 8:26, Matt 16:8, Luke 12:28
2 James 1:6

32

And when they were come into the ship, the 1wind ceased.
1 Job 38:8-11, Psa 65:7, Psa 89:9, Psa 93:4, Psa 104:3, Psa 107:29, Prov 30:4, Nahum 1:4, Matt 8:26

33

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the aSon of God.

34

And 1when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
1 Mark 6:53

35

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

36

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
